Hombies FAQ
What is a Home Exchange?
A home exchange involves exchanging your residence with another party’s home for a specified time, enabling both parties to enjoy accommodation without traditional hotel costs. On Hombie we use a points system allowing you to choose multiple residences for the time period you are away.
What is a House Swap?
A house swap is where you swap your house with somebody elses in the same time period. They come to your house and you go to theirs.
Is Home Exchanging and House Swapping Safe?
Having someone else staying in your house can be a daunting thought. When you do it once, you will wonder what you were worried about. As long as the other party has been verified and you have found them to be similar to yourselves, they will look after your house like you are looking after theirs.
Do I need to own my home to participate in a home exchange?
No, renters can participate in a Hombie home exchanges. However, it’s crucial to review your rental agreement and obtain permission from your landlord to ensure compliance with lease terms
